| champybh said: Madworld - What I'm trying to say (more politely) is that ... I feel the people who are obsessively investigating these claims are coming from a place of disrespect. They want very badly for it to be true so they can justify their opinion that women gamers don't have a place in "our world". I've formed this opinion by reading the overwhelming reactions all her videos inspire. It made me wonder why this topic drives everyone so insane - and i see no other reason other than that it's because it's coming from a women's voice. While I'm the opinion minority in this forum thread, many game developers agree with with this - and that there is in fact an issue. She's doing a good thing for the video game industry, she's getting the people who create games to think twice before they choose the predictable choice. Don't we all want more unique ideas in the games that we play? |
or perhaps its possible that people do not agree with her viewpoint?
and so therefore they have reacted critically to her claims?
before you pull the sex card i think you should sit back and think about if this hasn't happened to a male offering a controversial viewpoint on the industry before now
and i don't know about you but i instantly think of michael patcher
and from what i remember patcher hardly gets any support from anyone
but here we have so many guys willing to jump to someone's support merely because of their sex ( whether it be zoe quinn, sarkeesian etc )...
which ironically as i said before contradicts what feminists like sarkeesian are trying to acheive
and that is to do away with the notion that women are helpless objects for men to save
if you are aligning yourself with the cause of feminists then do not jump to her support merely because she's a woman analyse the situation, analyse her actions then come to a conclusion
